FEW THINGS ⚠️ .... Is it FINALLY time? 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀 NOTE - check out the saturation of color in these fish on dark substrate VS. the exact same fish, same setup and on light substrate in our last video just 2-3 days ago. Some bright colored fish can rock white, most will saturate better on dark/black! 👍 NOTE 2 - these two are letting the angelfish hangout with them... Interesting 🤔

Brunch with the Geos this morning! 🍳🐟 (Geophagus megasema) . . Slowly getting back to moving around by myself and without the help of crutches! Thank you to each and everyone of you for being here and allowing us a place to share our passion and hobby with you all. I want to appologize for neglecting to keep you guys updated throughout the process of my ACL and Double meniscus surgery, the past few weeks/months have been a bit "different" for us. However, WE'RE BACK 😎 and you can count on seeing more from us in the near future!

🦐 Amano shrimp project update! 🦐 . . . We are (im)patiently waiting for the next set of eggs so we can try again, but it is all on mama's ⌚ now! 😁 #freshwater #aquarium #shrimp #amanoshrimp #iwontlearnwithoutfailingfirst

You know were always getting into something! 😁🐟 Big stripes added and fingers crossed! We are hoping for a successful spawn in the near future with this beautiful breeding group of Frontosa "Mpimbwe" 🤞 The frontosa cichlid, also known as Cyphotilapia frontosa, is a species of freshwater fish native to the rocky shores and depths of Lake Tanganyika in East Africa. This species is highly sought after by aquarium hobbyists for its striking appearance and unique behavior. Frontosa cichlids are known for their distinctive nuchal hump, which develops as they mature, and their blue-black striped pattern. In addition to this, "Mpimbwe" is a location in Tanzania where this variant of the frontosa cichlid is found. These Mpimbwe frontosas are highly prized by collectors for their vibrant blue coloration and unique pattern. What makes this cichlid even more special is its unique ability to inhabit the deep waters of Lake Tanganyika. Frontosa cichlids can be found at depths of up to 150 meters, making them one of the few species of freshwater fish that can thrive in such extreme conditions. And if that's not impressive enough, did you know that some scientists have even discovered deep water frontosa cichlids that are over 30 years old? How cool!! Be sure to keep an eye out for updates on our many projects! 👁️ AMANO SHRIMP update coming SOON 🦐 😁 . . . #amanoshrimp #frontosa #cichlid #freshwater #africancichlid

⚠️ Amono Project Update ⚠️ WE HAVE HATCHED LARVAE‼️ 🦐🦐 Have you ever wondered how baby Amano shrimp grow into full-fledged shrimp? Here's an amazing fact: they go through 9 zoea stages before they reach the juvenile stage! Here's a breakdown of their journey: • Stage 1: (current stage in video) The first stage begins with the hatching of the egg. The larvae have a large yolk sac that provides nutrition until they are able to find food. • Stage 2-5: During the next few stages, the larvae will molt and grow larger. They will also develop their legs, antennae, and other shrimp-like features. • Stage 6: At this stage, the larvae will start to look more like a miniature version of adult shrimp and will begin to feed on algae, small plankton, and other microscopic food. • Stage 7-8: In these stages, the larvae will continue to grow and molt until they reach the juvenile stage. • Stage 9: This is the final stage before reaching the juvenile stage. The larvae will have fully developed into a shrimp and will start to resemble a miniature version of an adult Amano shrimp. 🤯 Isn't it amazing how much these tiny creatures go through before they reach maturity? Keep an eye out for more updates to come soon!! 👀 . . . #AmanoShrimp #Larvae #freshwater #Marineraised

There have been developments on the Amano project! 🦀🐌🐠 I have pulled a short snippet from an article from [theshrimpfarm[.] com] to help further show why this project is so exciting! "Amano Shrimp Breeding. Amano shrimp are one of the hardest shrimp species to breed in the aquarium hobby. It was actually thought impossible for a good while, but through lots of experimenting, there are aquarists who have managed to pull it off." This is because these shrimp will not live out their entire life cycle in freshwater! The Amano shrimp will readily spawn in freshwater and even in the average home aquarium, but, the "babies" will need to survive through the lengthy process of being a larvae (9 zoea stages 🤯) and the switching from fresh to saltwater TWICE! We will keep everyone updated and plan to film most of the upcoming process, as this species is not often documented successfully breeding in a home aquarium. Stay tuned! 🙌👀 . . . #amanoshrimp #aquarium #momnpop #aquariumfish #amanoshrimpbreeding #shrimpgang
